Mechabellum, my favourite auto-battling strategy game launches September 26
Ah, auto battlers, at one point they seemed like they would be all the rage, but most quickly moved on. Mechabellum thankfully, feels a bit different, and quickly became a real favourite and it's set to leave Early Access on September 26.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Deadlock surpassed 100,000 concurrent players, Valve adds wall jumping

Looks nice.
But: I am a little bit sick of kiddy friendly colorful non-sensical games. It's the Fortnite-ism of the gaming industry, imho. Driven by greed.
Best example: Call of Duty.
It's called "Modern Warfare" or "Black Ops" and it sounds serious. But then multiplayer is hysterical as shit and has nothing to do with war scenarios any longer.
I hope Delta Force is not doing this shit ...
UK Universities are likely to extend access to Elsevier collection for another year, despite huge deficits of many Universities (including Cambridge).
See what MIT did:
2019 - MIT cancelled big deal and instead subscribed to 675 journals (of
about 2.5K available?)
2020 - they cancelled all Elsevier subscriptions - relying instead on
back-access and interlibrary loans.
Estimated savings: 80% of original spend - saving 2 million USD/year now...
